ATEN DisplayPort Secure KVM; 1,8M USB DisplayPort

The ATEN DisplayPort Secure 1.8M cable kit provides a single-cable solution for connecting DisplayPort-equipped servers and workstations to ATEN secure KVM switches. Designed for secure environments, this kit transmits DisplayPort video, USB for keyboard and mouse, USB for CAC (smart card) authentication, and analog audio (speaker) signals through one integrated cable. The cable has a 1.8 m length, a black exterior and a lightweight build, making it suitable for rack and desktop deployments where space and signal integrity are important.

Advantages

This cable kit consolidates multiple signal types into a single lead, reducing cable clutter and simplifying installation in secure setups. Its 1.8 m length is long enough for typical rack-to-console routing while remaining compact for tidy cable management. The black finish matches common datacentre and office equipment. Compatibility with ATEN PSS PP v3.0 secure KVM switches ensures stable transmission of video, USB HID, smart card authentication and audio channels without introducing unnecessary connectors at the console.

Suitable for

• Connecting DisplayPort servers or workstations to compatible ATEN secure KVM switches
• Secure access environments requiring USB keyboard/mouse and CAC (smart card) support
• Rack and desktop console installations where a single integrated cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.8 m
• Supported video interface: DisplayPort
• Signal support: DisplayPort video, USB HID (keyboard/mouse), USB CAC (smart card), analog audio (speaker)
• Colour: Black
• Weight: 0.29 kg (product)

How to use

Connect the DisplayPort connector to the video output of the server or workstation and plug the USB and audio connectors into their corresponding ports on the ATEN secure KVM switch following the switch’s port labelling. Ensure the switch and target system are powered off or in a safe state during initial connection. After all connectors are seated, power on the systems and verify video and peripheral functionality via the KVM switch. For CAC operation, insert the smart card into the reader and check authentication through the connected endpoint.

Recommendations

Route the 1.8 m cable to avoid sharp bends and electromagnetic interference sources. Use cable ties or tray channels to maintain a neat installation and to preserve signal integrity. Confirm compatibility with your specific ATEN secure KVM switch model and firmware (PSS PP v3.0 compatibility is indicated) before deployment.
